We almost cancelled because the weather called for cold, wind and rain. Soooooo glad we did not! We had the best tour from watching dolphins play in our wake and feed against the sandbar, to the most secluded shelling spot. Our captain and first mate were so friendly and knowledgeable. Cannot wait to come back!

This is a premier experience in the Marco Island area and is superb for the entire family... from toddlers to the grandparents. It is a personalized eco-adventure. Every day is different in the Everglades and 10,000 Islands so we try to be very flexible and dynamic. The tour may/will include a bit of birding, some photography, strolling thru tidal pools, shelling on a remote beach, exploration of one of the 10,000 Islands and a visit to the very tip of Southwest Florida - Cape Romano! The first part of the experience is a guided boating eco tour in search of the areas rich wildlife. The second part is an interpretive, guided walk on a remote barrier island to explore the island's beaches, tidal pools and inter-tidal zones. Absolutely the best shell collection opportunities in Florida! Note: June through October, we suggest the morning experiences due to the weather.

Don McCumber was a deeply informed naturalist and story teller who introduced us to shell creatures, the mangrove tree mysteries of making islands, and some history along the way. He persuaded a mother and child dolphin pair to surf our wake! Ask him about kayaking from Cuba to Key West! The time could not have been better spent.

Extremely knowledgeable captain about the natural world, lovely boat ride through mangrove forests, easy on and off boat even for the elderly! Wonderful all around!
